Like other said, red poppies  represents consolation, remembrance, and death. Memento Mori. Or, 'sleep' because the opium extracted from them is a sedative, and death because of the common blood-red color of the red poppy in particular.

But,

In contrast with meanings connected to death and sleep, poppy flowers symbolize beauty, magic, consolation, humility, fertility, prosperity, and eternal life. The bright petals of poppies are a stunning contrast in fields of green. The large, delicate petals are a unique feature of these beautiful flowers.

An emotional intelligence primer in the form of a tender illustrated woman & Poppies, an empowered retelling both of 'memento mori' and prosperity, a meditation on what it means to have enough, a serenade to the art of listening as the gateway to self-understanding, and more. :)
